IMDB rating: 7.80 Plot: While visiting the Earth at Night, a group of alien botanists is discovered and disturbed by an approaching human task force. Because of the more than hasty take-off, one of the visitors is left behind. The little alien finds himself all alone on a very strange planet. Fortunately, the extra-terrestrial soon finds a friend and emotional companion in 10-year-old Elliot, who discovered him looking for food in his family’s garden shed. While E.T. slowly gets acquainted with Elliot’s brother Michael, his sister Gertie as well as with Earth customs, members of the task force work day and night to track down the whereabouts of Earth’s first visitor from Outer Space. The wish to go home again is strong in E.T., and after being able to communicate with Elliot and the others, E.T. starts building an improvised device to send a message home for his folks to come and pick him up. But before long, E.T. gets seriously sick, and because of his special connection to Elliot, the young boy suffers, too. The situation gets critical when the task force finally intervenes. By then, all help may already be too late, and there’s no alien spaceship in sight. |

help me find the topic sentence of this paragraph?
One paragraph has two topic sentences:one in the beginning and one at the end.
1 Few of us could swim in the ocean comfortably after seeing filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s terrifrying move Jaws.2 In the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Spiedberg created a sweet, funny film about a being from outer space. 3 In 1985, he gaveus The Color Purple, a moving picture about a black family in the South that earned him a Best Director nomination. 4 Steven Spielberg has created some of the most successful and popular films of the 1970s and 1980s.
You can find the topic sentence by trying to understand what the overall theme of this paragraph is. Sentences 1-3 show single movies that Spielberg has made. But they are unrelated. The fourth sentence ties the first three together to create an overall topic for the paragraph. So all you need to do is read the paragraph and ask yourself "What is the point the author is trying to make?" In this case, it’s that Spielberg has made great movies. Then you search the paragraph for the sentence that echoes this.
